Corsair Warthog brings back the ammo-box PC case for 2026
If you built a PC in the early 2010s, you probably remember the Vengeance C70 — Corsair's steel ammo-box case that became a cult favourite. Fourteen years later, Corsair has announced the Warthog at Computex 2026, a direct successor that keeps the military aesthetic while adding a serious modern feature set. Pre-orders are open on Amazon UK at £169.99 for the fanless model, with the fan-equipped RS version priced higher; both ship August 11, per Overclock3D.
The look
The Warthog is named after the A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft — rugged, purposeful, and not shy about what it is. Corsair kept the steel construction, integrated carry handles, and side-panel access that made the C70 popular. The biggest visual change is a perforated front panel designed to push more air through the chassis, replacing the more enclosed look of its predecessor. It ships in two colours: Black and Olive Drab.
Dimensions sit at 534 mm × 284 mm × 546 mm — a standard mid-tower footprint that fits most desks without drama.
What's inside
Corsair built the Warthog around three new features. InfiniRail is a flexible fan-mounting system that lets you position radiators and fans without being locked to fixed positions. RapidRoute 2.0 is an updated cable-management channel that routes cables behind the motherboard tray more cleanly than the original C70. There's also a GPU anti-sag arm — useful now that high-end graphics cards can weigh close to two kilograms.
The case supports reverse-connector motherboards (sometimes called BTF), which route power and data cables to the back of the board for a cleaner interior look. ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte all make compatible boards, per Corsair Official. Rear I/O lighting rounds out the feature list.

Two versions
The standard Warthog ships without fans — you bring your own. The Warthog RS includes two RS200 200 mm intake fans at the front and one RS120 120 mm exhaust fan at the rear; all three connect directly to the motherboard header rather than requiring a separate hub.
Price and availability
At £169.99 base, the Warthog sits in the same bracket as Lian Li and Fractal Design's premium mid-towers. The RS model edges above £200. For PC builders who remember the C70 fondly, the nostalgia is built in — but the specs justify the price on their own merits. August 11 is the confirmed release date.
